#Starfield #bug #deathloop

Before you set foot on a ship in Starfield to take it over, make a manual save.

Like if try to capture a Pirate ship on the ground that takes off, and the planetary defence ships starts pounding it to pieces, you'll be stuck in an infinite death loop as the autosave will be IN THE SHIP.

Fuck.

Uncovering the Hidden Flaw: The Legacy of the Pentium Pro Minor Bug

The Pentium Pro Minor Bug, sometimes referred to in technical circles as the “Flag Erratum” or by the informal designation “Dan-0411,” is a subtle hardware flaw in the floating‐point unit (FPU) design that was inherited by both the Pentium Pro and later the Pentium II processors.

Today's `gcc` bug is gcc.gnu.org/PR119428

There `gcc` generated wrong code for `e2fsprogs-1.47.2` on the code similar to:

void bug_o2(unsigned int nr, unsigned char * addr)
{
unsigned char *ADDR = addr;
ADDR += nr >> 3;
*ADDR &= (unsigned char) ~(1 << (nr & 0x07));
}

It was supposed to set bit `nr` in a bit vector `addr` to 0. But did something else instead.
